Supply Chain Position

Optical interposer for wafer-level photonic packaging. Pre-revenue. Binary outcome by 2027.

Why Included

If the optical interposer is validated, every transceiver maker needs it. Sub-$1M revenue today. $250M+ cash from equity raises. This is a pure option — smallest position size reflects the binary risk.

Customers: No meaningful revenue. Pre-commercial.

Red Flags

  • Pre-revenue — sub-$1M revenue, zero commercial validation
  • Binary outcome: technology either works and gets adopted, or it doesn't
  • Cash burn requires ongoing equity dilution from raises
  • $250M+ raised from equity — dilution is significant and ongoing
  • No analyst coverage or institutional validation

Citrini Research Note

Citrini weight: 5% (lowest in basket). Portfolio at 2.3% (also lowest). Both treat it as a small speculative position.
